French pan-global psych trio NLF3, two brothers in blood and a third in passion, play drifting yet highly focused instrumental music.
Formed in Paris in 2000, they left behind a punk rock past as Prohibition whose supporters included Cornershop and Fugazi to adopt the more abstract and opened stylings of post-rock. They now share a pool of principles and constructions with the likes of Battles, Tortoise, Godspeed or Animal Collective, all of whom the group have toured with over the years.
NLF3's music is cyclical, textured and emotional, halfway between movie scores and innovative psychedelic transgressions. The band cites influences such as Aphex Twin, Fela Kuti, Ennio Morricone or Sonic Youth - mixing a lot of electronics together with a wide variety of instruments.
"We like guitars, amps, feedback, tubes, vintage keys, Kalimba, beats and drones, we like singing and dancing like sorcerers".
